The research topic can be approached from many disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, with pre-modern and modern issues being of special interest. The given complexity of this topic invites also multidisciplinary and comparative research. Societies have organized themselves throughout their history employing mechanisms that have promoted social stratification. Since the Late Joseon dynasty, Korean society has suffered a strong reorganization that reevaluated the mechanisms and discourses of such stratification, opening the possibility for a social reorganization, but dynamics of discrimination, integration and domination still interplay in both Koreas. Given the extension of such topic, the present conference aims at focusing on various present and past main topics.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; line-height: 15.693334px;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; line-height: 15.693334px; text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.120001px; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Important information<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; line-height: 16.866667px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Organizer contact details and abstract submission: </span><a href="mailto:asiaoriental@uma.es" style="color: rgb(150, 96, 125);"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">asiaoriental@uma.es</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; line-height: 16.866667px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Application deadline: October, 6<sup>th</sup>, 2025.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; line-height: 16.866667px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Full paper submission, once selected: Feb. 2<sup>nd</sup>, 2026.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; line-height: 16.866667px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Dates of the conference: Feb. 25-26<sup>th</sup>, 2026.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; line-height: 16.866667px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Conference venue: University of Malaga, Spain. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; line-height: 16.866667px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Web: <a href="https://asiaoriental.uma.es/activities/" style="color: rgb(150, 96, 125);">https://asiaoriental.uma.es/activities/</a> </span></p></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div></div></body></html>
